Radio Headsets

[aribos]

Hey guys,

Just wanting some advice really (mods move if in the wrong place).

Got a pair of cobra MT600's on the way to me and was wondering what you guys think the best headsets are to use for airsoft that are cheap (i.e. i dont have 100 quid to spend on a headset so ideally a cheap but good throat mic or bowman type)

I have a 2 pin motorola adaptor that converts from 2 to 1 pin so two pins shouldnt be too much of a worry.

Either reviews, recommendations would be nice, also links and/or pics please with model names etc so i can look up prices.

Cheers for any help

Re: Radio Headsets

What's it like? I heard the Hong Kong ones have volume issues?

I used a throat mic before, and they not bad. They can rub, which is annoying. Not so bad, I'll get another one soon. I can't use the Bowman style with my mask as it turns out!

Re: Radio Headsets

The Bowman headset replicas (Cavalry Elite) work surprisingly well. Not sure how durable they are, haven't used mine all that much, but I'd recommend them

Has to be able to fit under a boonie and also i use a neck muffler/face cover to cover my face when sniping or in cqb enviroment.

Re: Radio Headsets

The replica bowan headsets are pretty good, they seem pretty durable, had mine for a while and'll only set you back ~£20. A lot of my team have them and I dont think any have broken yet
On the other hand you can get covert headsets, looks like the thing secret service use. Works nicely but I found the earpiece tended to fall at the worst times. Again, you can get them for £20
Both'll work with a bonnie, the neck muffler could be an issue when talking into a mic so you may be better off looking down the throat mike road

Re: Radio Headsets

Swimmer ones are pretty good, not had any problems yet. Delivery Is a bit of a pain though. The ptt button is a bit big though, about the size of a pack of 20 tabs

Re: Radio Headsets

i use a seal throat mic on my motorola's rich and on terry's cobra's and no problem , no vox troubles or self beep now replaced the batteries , can hear me crystal and hear you perfect due to the accustic tube, mine works when whispering , you know because of the stalk's we do ,

Also used the Bowman copies, they are ok good quality for price but dont expect it to be perfect , they nice to wear , but can chafe on head under boonies. . .

Re: Radio Headsets

OK guys got a short list now.

Bowman

or

TASC(Swimmer style)

Please state your reasons for choosing.

Re: Radio Headsets

Bowman because it looks like it has more ear room. But otherwise just choose the one you want, they're essentially the same thing

Re: Radio Headsets

Go for whatever go's with the loadout you're using, swimmer for U.S, Bowman for UK.
I had a Toto cavalry headset, no volume issues, fits easily under a boonie, and the boom mike picks up sound very well, so should be fine with the neck muffler.

Re: Radio Headsets

i bought some copies of bowmans from gaffa on here a while ago they work fine with cobras the volume even works still loud but it does work.
the only issue i have had with mine is the pin is slightly wrong for one of my cobras but works fine in the other one of them.
